Since a fire broke out in an engine room Sunday morning, the Carnival Triumph has been drifting off the coast of Mexico. A total of 3,143 passengers and 1,086 crew have been forced to make do with cold food, no hot water, sweltering indoor temperatures, and few working toilets. A tow boat is expected Thursday, after an initial plan to tow the ship to a port in Mexico was scrapped."

This cruise will be reimbursed in full, plus all onboard charges minus the gift shop and casino. An additional voucher for the same price paid as this cruise will be issued. Knowing her, she will book another cruise, but we'll see how enthusiastic she is on Friday. Yeah, I am sure this sucks, but I heard that the crew is giving out free alcohol. That may improve morale just a bit. The worst part is no communication, but that will change on Thursday.

Wow, three days plus stranded at sea with limited to no services and crappy conditions and that is the best they could offer? I won't even look at Carnival when we go on a cruise now.

Heh, I was thinking, just give them free booze! Then I thought, Isn't booze part of all inclusive? Now I'm thinking, giving a bunch of pissed people booze isn't a great idea, especially when the toilets don't work. Anyways, hope all ends well.

I think I'd skip the part where they have to pee/poop in the bag and then hand it over to the steward.

You have to admit this guy does have a pretty shitty job!

The free gifts will lose their luster when disembarking, family and friends realize that the bottom half of their "My wife went on a Carnival Cruise and all I got was this T shirt" was ripped off to use as an ESK(Emergency Shit Kit).

If I were on that cruise, I'm pretty sure I'd blow mud off the Bow of the boat and shout "KING OF THE WORLD!".
